I loved this! My friends and I had an "iron chef" style potluck party where avocado was the secret ingredient (we all had to bring a dish made with avocado). Not content with making yet another sushi or guacamole dish, I searched this site with the ingredient avocado, and came across this. It was super moist and tasted wonderful - although people who don't like the spices' flavors should consider scaling them down. But for me it was delicious. Thanks to another reviewer's idea, I made muffins instead of bread, and baked at 375 for 20min. I halved the recipe and that made a dozen muffins. Like many others have said, it tastes of the spices and citrus, because avocado quite frankly doesn't have much of a taste. I've always thought that avocados are more of a texture thing than a taste thing, and this recipe really shows that; the avocados makes the bread super moist and brings out the flavors of the spices and the zest. The pecans and the raisins definitely add huge points. And finally, doesn't avocado bread just sound cool? My friends were all intrigued and the muffins were gone in no time :)

I tried this recipe because I had avocados that were very ripe. Turned out to be a really great recipe. Everyone really liked it! My kids (who complain about everything), my husband (who complains about everything) and my co workers (who always have "special reasons" why they don't eat whatever also ate it and raved. I'd make it again in a second. If your a banana bread person - try this.

I have always loved making quick breads because they are typically a great way to get rid of too much or overripe produce...bananas, zucchini, etc. This bread is perfect for using up my extra avocados when they're just a little too mushy. The texture and flavor is great, and it keeps/freezes very well. I never have buttermilk, so I followed in the footsteps of some other reviewers and used 1/2c sour cream with 1/4c milk and it worked well. This is a new staple for me :)

This recipe really peeked my curiosity. I omitted the raisins and didn't have buttermilk but did the milk with a tbls of lemon juice thing and it came out beautifully. This bread comes out looking and tasting wonderful. The bread has just the right amount of density and looked good enough to give as a gift.

I liked the moistness, although it kind of fell apart. Also, it tastes, not of avocado (which I couldn't taste at all), but of orange zest. May try it again, but next time, I might try much less orange zest and more cinnamon, maybe some nutmeg.
